KEY POINTS
- Sweden is often viewed as a liberal utopia in Europe, known for its stable economy, high quality of life, and open and progressive society.
- But its center-right coalition government — which is propped up by the nationalist and right-wing Sweden Democrats party — has adopted an increasingly restrictive stance on immigration.
- The country is trumpeting its lower numbers of immigrants, but economists say the economic benefits are debatable, with growth and productivity among the factors to consider.
You watch those shows too? ;)
Some of them anyway. I really liked the Kenneth Brannagh Wallander series. The original books are good too. There’s a Swedish TV version, but I’ve never seen it.
I did watch most of Wallander and a number of the Nordic Noir shows, but they got depressing and killed off my favorite people :p
